Background: Psychosocial and behavioral disorders have been reported in childhood epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes (CECTS). We aimed to identify the symptoms of eating disorders in CECTS.
Methods: Patients with CECTS were recruited from the pediatric neurology outpatient clinic between September 2019 and July 2020. The Children's Eating Behaviour Questionnaire (CEBQ) was administered to 39 patients and 31 controls. Patients' scores were compared with those of healthy subjects.
Results: There was no significant difference between the CEBQ of patients with CECTS and the control group (p > 0.05). There was no significant difference between the BMI of the patients with CECTS and the control group. In the patient group with CECTS, no significant difference was found in terms of CEBQ according to the antiepileptic drug used and EEG findings (p > 0.05).
Conclusion: No difference was found in the eating habits of patients with CECTS compared with the healthy control group.

Purpose: Brain imaging is needed when investigating epilepsy. Imaging options available include MRI and CT scan which may be non-contrast (NCCT) or contrast-enhanced (CECT). The specific clinical question and probable epilepsy substrate in the epidemiological context and socioeconomic milieu are important in determining the choice of imaging.

Childhood epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes (CECTS) is associated with cognitive, behavioral, and language difficulties. These epileptic discharges predominantly occur in the temporal lobe, which is known to be involved in olfactory functions. This study aims to assess olfactory dysfunction in patients with CECTS.

Aims: To prospectively determine whether extrinsic warming of the low-osmolality CT contrast media (Iohexol 350, Iodixanol 320, Iopromide 300, and Iopamidol 300) to 37°C prior to intravenous administration affects extravasation and allergic-like reaction rates.
Materials And Methods: This large scale prospective case control study of adverse events included all the patients between the age group of 15-80 years undergoing routine contrast-enhanced computed tomographic (CECT) examinations from April 2018 to March 2020 at our institute. Ex vivo experiments were also performed to demonstrate change in contrast viscosity and fluid dynamics in relation to temperature.

Purpose: To test the inter-reader agreement in classifying pulmonary hypertension (PH) on chest contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) between a consensus of two cardio-pulmonary-devoted radiologists (CRc) and inexperienced readers (radiology residents, RRs) when using a CECT-based quick hands-on tool built upon PH imaging literature, i.e., the "Rapid Access and Practical Information Digest on Computed Tomography for PH-RAPID-CT-PH".

Purpose: Percutaneous thermal ablation is an effective treatment for primary and metastatic liver tumors and is a recommended local therapy for early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Reported evidence shows an increase in the ablation zone volume over the first 24-h post-liver ablation. This report compares ablation zone volumes immediately at the completion (T = 0) of 26 microwave ablations of liver tumors to 24-h post-procedure (T = 24) volumes.
